Further refining twinkle toes. This uses both rear chamber air restriction with a very light vent front damper.
[edit] oh for fucks sake, nothing like reinventing the wheel.. that is fact the same god damn driver. I sourced them 6 months ago. Spendy bastards. 11mm DLC.
Even reinventing the wheel can lead to some new insights along the way. And your build won’t have all the Moondrop QC issues I’m sure.
I definitely learned a lot. Im a bit happy to get a ‘free’ Illustrious out of it. I have 8 more pair I can make until I have to buy more drivers.
Awesome you’re so close to getting another set finished dude. How does it take to increasing the bass with EQ?
Hi all, wanted to give an update on my Sabertooth IEM that I’ve been tuning. I had to abandon the idea of using that bery driver and an open nozzle.. it was nearly impossible to get the tuning that I wanted with that driver and this shell. I switched to a driver that’s graphene based and it’s much easier to tune. After a couple weeks with this new driver, I settled on this tuning. I think it sort of rides the line between analytical and bright and a warmish neutral if that makes sense. Vocals and details come through very nicely, and there’s zero bloat in complex and fast tracks. The stage is also something else. I think it’s a combination of a very light front vent damper (3.0 300), the tuning and the driver. The stage just expands around you and shifts depending on what you’re listening to. I guess the only criticism that I have currently is that 5k is a little pronounced, especially on tracks that have loud snare drums, but other than that I’m loving this tuning. I also used some various materials in the back shell, front chamber and nozzle to quiet the reflections inside the shell and smooth off the sharp edges of those peaks in the treble. You can’t necessarily see those things in the graph, but you can hear it. Mike will be checking it out next week and maybe he can share some thoughts on it 
Could you upload that next to hexa
I sold Hexa the week I got it so maybe my tastes have changed since then. Mine kind of has a similar signature going on, but I’d say that the bass comes across way stronger and the vocals aren’t as shouty. The stage immediately wowed me on mine too, where as I didn’t notice much with Hexa. There’s just something special about the way this new DD sounds.. it kind of sounds like a cousin of the Oxygen or DM driver.
If you rewind to the first post of this thread you can see I did the same thing to this driver (with a different shell) It works no matter, but I have a far better method now.
You up for some test tracks or is it too early?
sure hit me up, make them count plz
I’ll do my best, hope none make you gag too much.
If it were possible I’d give you two hearts just for the DX reference (and you can always graph it against a random Moondrop IEM and use a ‘suck it’ gif, just saying 
)
I did some calcs to get the rear volume pipe length which is HOLY SHIT 78mm long x 0.6mm
This is how you tune a 1DD to have various levels of flat mids/bass.
No front vent or one front vent graphs
I don’t know how I feel about this though JM1 compensation
Just watched your new vid. Agree with the fun part. Wanted to ask you about the Edge’s internal structure but you already discussed it.
